This gene encodes one of the matrix-remodelling associated proteins. This protein contains 7 leucine-rich repeats and 12 immunoglobulin-like C2-type domains related to perlecan. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome Y. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010],developmental stage:Over-expressed in centenarians. Expression is reduced from young to old but increased from old to centenarians.,sequence caution:Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence.,similarity:Contains 12 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.,similarity:Contains 7 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.,
